Jewel River Cruise Line will debut in 2008 with six ships sailing in some of the most attractive waterways in Europe. Our collection of river cruise companies features independent brands with a singular mission to provide the highest quality river cruise experience within distinct categories that include: Jewel River Cruises, a new boutique-luxury level of river cruising; as well as a premium line and a contemporary line.
Jewel River Cruises, will start up May 15 with the first all-suite river boats. The company’s first boat, the Jewel River Blue, will debut with a 10-day maiden voyage along the River Seine to
Rouen.
Cruising between Paris and Rouen, the ship will offer 22 voyages of seven and ten-days with the last sailing November 20. Seven-day cruises start at $5,129 per person. The boat will accommodate 80 guests in 40 suites with an impressive 2:1 guest-to-crew ratio. The three categories of suites – ranging from 215 square feet to 473 square feet – are among the largest of any river cruise ship and rival those found on luxury ocean liners.Amenities not found on other river cruise ships include: a specialty restaurant, cigar lounge and wine bar. Two Owners Suites will each be an expansive 473 square feet. The 14 Marquise Suites will measure a spacious 322 square feet and the 24 Jewel Suites will be 215 square feet.
Private behind-the-scenes tours of the Louvre and Opera Bastille, a personal culinary class with a Michelin-3-star chef, private vintage wine tastings with master winemakers, a day at the wheel of a vintage Cabriolet or a helicopter ride over the Champagne countryside – these are only a few of the “Lifestyle Experiences” Jewel River Cruises has designed for its guests.
Prices always lower than the cruise lines .
There are many superb and well-trained travel agents, but there are also many who know little to nothing about river cruising. They may have been wonderful to work with when planning your business travel, or land vacations, but the might not have the specialized knowledge about river cruising to supply you with equally good service in that area.
We have sailed the ships, slept in the beds, taken the shore excursions and eaten the food. Our prices are lower than the cruise lines.
